okay it's a therapy that accesses your body uh organs and structures through your feet okay so um and each foot access it accesses your body based on where it is um locationally in your body so for example all everything on your right left hand side your body is on this foot everything on your right hand side of the body is on this foot okay your body is split into in reflexology 10 zones okay you have five zones this foot five zones that foot and um and your organs and your structures are mapped out through through the zones so the zone one starts here zone five is towards the outside edge your foot and when you see the picture of the zone lines you'll see that you know they cut through the body in that way so it just sometimes it means that like something like the liver would be in more than one zone because it's big so something like the um gallbladder is only in one zone because it's small so depending on its size so i can access your body structures by accessing reflex points into your feet and basically what that does it makes if i can unblock energy in your body it means that your body runs more efficiently and you feel better it's got very similar basis to acupuncture we work the same meridians we work the same same more or less same lines and we both are doing the same thing we are unblocking energy to yeah to improve people's health and body yes yeah so in reflexology uh what the client feels and what i feel are two different things so the client feels unfortunately feels more the pain uh the tenderness so they might feel bruisey sharp they might feel burning i mean the more chronic the point is the more painful it's been it will be sorry um i would feel textured so i will feel things like crystals and the crystals are basically um uh uric acid deposits um on to the end of the nerves and by working crystals we're clearing off energy from the the nerves as well it just means again a lot of those times the crystals are only there for a very short time and they can usually mean that something's very new it's a very new condition so in reflexology terms i always say crystals like christmas presents because they're just they're just not there they're only there one day and they're gone um so things like the crunchy the crunchiness the cornflakes are more chronic condition um something like um like popping you can get popping um again popping in in the digestive system um that's been there a time so it can't denote how long they've had it for so crystals tend to be very new um things like the the popping and the things like that they've had it there a while
